Your EPC rating runs from A (most energy efficient, score 92+) to G (least efficient, score 1–20). The average UK home is rated D (score 55–68). A rating of C or above means your home is reasonably efficient. Moving from D to C can reduce energy bills by hundreds of pounds per year and adds value to your property. The EPC also shows a "potential" rating — the best achievable with recommended improvements.
Yes. EPC certificates are public records. You can check the EPC rating of any property in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland using its postcode or address. This is useful when buying, renting, or comparing properties — a lower EPC rating means higher energy bills.
